Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

From the Priestly Newsletter 1998 #4

"What I would like to leave behind is a simple prayer that each of you may find what I have found--God's special gift to us all: the gift of peace. When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is non-essential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us. And we become instruments in the hands of the Lord."3

3. Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, The Gift of Peace, Loyola University Press, pp. 151-153.

 

                 October 3, 2021               

R. Since God has called us to love and God is love, our eternity can depend on how we grew in love, how we spread love, how we brought God's love to others.

Some that suffered refuse to love or be loved because they are afraid to love, to give love, to receive love.

Here is the greatest commandment.

Matthew 22: 36-40 

‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’ Jesus said to him, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself.  On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.’
  

R. Heaven is for lovers.

God has made our lives a blessing, but we are not perfect.
The life we live effects others and those lives effect others.

Pray as Jesus has directed us!!
Help as He wants - love, obedience, selflessness.

God is a God of miracles.
We are here to learn lessons.
   

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

e) Relationship with Members of the Church

...The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38...
 
 

R. God is the healer.

Everyday how did we live. Were we caring and giving to others?

Jesus suffered for us.
He is our Redeemer, Our Savior.
His birth is such a gift to us.
We could meditate for so long on Jesus coming to this earth.

Think of all the people whose lives we touched in our lives.

We touch each other's lives by how deep is our love in Jesus.
Jesus touched others with our lives as we were open to Him.
Heaven is real.

Read His letters of love in God's Blue Books.

Jesus is teaching us about His love, about Himself.

God wants us eternally with Him in heaven.
How many people - love everyday and do their duty helping others.

We will experience the celestial joy we were created for if we go to heaven.

Heaven is a reward promised to those who love and serve the Lord. 

Heaven is for real.
God created us uniquely to know, love and serve Him.
God created us to help build His Kingdom on earth.

Today October 3, 1993, 28 years ago I received this message in Blue Book I.
 

Use Your Talents

October 3, 1993 Chicago Marian Conference 11:30a.m.

Jesus: I am your Savior, Son of the Living God. I come to you that you might have life, not as the world gives you life, but My life which is life eternal. I carved you from My special carving and made you little less than an angel. I love you and cherish all the moments when you, My special child, come to sit with Me. I wait here and I hope you will choose to come, but I never force you. Your will is totally free and I give it to you because of My love and the will of the Father. I inform you in numerous ways. You do not have to guess and wonder. Come be with Me in this silence and all you need to know will be told to you. Your life is unfolding as a beautiful rose. Each petal falls and you plant My odors about as I so desire. I make your life full and sure as you trust in Me. No need for worrying, My little flower. My ways give you freedom if you listen to your heart. I am a personal God and you know Me as giving you fullness and life. You know there is some magnetism to Me and the way you crave to be part of Me. This is the work of the one, true God Who created you with a thirst that can only be quenched by Me. All roads that lead to Me give you fullness, worth, peace and joy, not as the world thinks, but as you yourself know true peace and joy. When I really touch you, you do not remain the same. I shed My Blood for you that you will have the life only I can give. What friend in this world would die for you? You, My child, were worth My dying for. I came that you will have life eternal and the gift I give is My Precious Blood for your sins. Come to Me in trouble and when you are bowed down. Come to Me in joy. Come to Me every day that you live and I will give you all you need. Seek to know Me more and more. Knowledge of Me, being with Me, are the only way to perfect peace. They lead to eternal life.

I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly. Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents.

Do your own work. Don't be envious of your brothers. Don't hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother's work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it.

Do not hide your talents. Praise your God Who gave you these talents. Embrace and use them. This is not pride. This is My plan. I love you. I give to each of you, My precious children, as a mother who buys special Christmas gifts for each child. To buy gifts all the same for all your children is not to respect their specialness, their individuality.

Oh, I love you, little ones, so much. Please come to Me. I am so good and I wait to be with you and share My love with you. Come now. This is your top priority. All else will work when you come to Me first. I love you. You are My chosen children. Come and be filled and I make your loads light and I fill you with the Spirit of Salvation.

All roads that lead to Me are the right roads. Praise Me for I am good and I love you, little dear ones. end of excerpt


R. How did we love and serve God?
It is satisfying to want to know God more and more because that is how God made us.

God made us in His image and likeness to love.
We were created to love. God created us to love Him and love others. God is love!!
We were created to love.
We need God to give us His help to love more and more.
Love is a theological virtue.

We co-operate with His gift and seek it.

We are all created by God. We are important to God.
God has a plan for us.
We are here to learn, even in an imperfect world.

Learners are listeners.
We don’t know it all. We do not even see and understand many things we should see and understand if we were open and not caught up in much non-sense and selfishness.

God wants us to follow His plan and do what He wants us to do. What choices we make can help or hurt others. What we choose can block God’s plan for others or encourage them to do as God wants.

We are here to do God’s plan and help others to do God’s will, encourage them, not try to block God’s Plan.
God is absolute truth, we need to live in the truth to be close to Jesus.
The devil is the Father of lies.
We hurt ourselves and others when we lie.
We move further and further from God when we lie.

We can be instruments that block God’s plan when we treat others in a way unpleasing to God.
That is treat others in pride, jealousy, anger, envy, etc.

We are put on earth to do God’s work, to serve Him, to love, to help build His Kingdom. What we do has consequences.

We are here to learn. We are here to love.
We are here to choose God’s Plan in our lives.
God wants us to be His disciples in our lives - we are to grow in the image and likeness of God.
God gives us the Church, the commandments, the Word of God.
God gives us each other to help, to love, to co-operate with, to help build the Kingdom of God here in our lives.

God tests us and let’s us go through trials here to learn to love and live His will. It’s a choice - do we live selflessly or selfishly.
Jesus always was looking out - loving others.
Jesus came and showed us love and forgiveness.
Jesus was selfless - Jesus didn’t come a high and mighty King, Jesus came a little baby to show us His way of love and forgiveness.

We are here to love and help build God’s Kingdom here in the hearts of men.
This takes love to build the Kingdom of love.
This takes selflessness.

Jesus sacrificed for our sins. We sacrifice for each other. Mothers and Fathers sacrifice for each other, for the family, for the children.

Jesus died to rise on the third day and bring us new life.

Friends sacrifice for each other, we give and others give to us. God created us social creatures, we need each other.

Lack of forgiveness is like poison in ourselves.

Jesus teaches us about sacrifice, love and forgiveness.
These are our lessons we are to learn life-long. 
 

 

 

R. Jesus gives us the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.

By His life, death and resurrection we can go to heaven if we do as He tells us.

Heaven is for lovers, we are here to learn how to love, we are here to learn lessons.

Freedom is in living God’s will. Freedom is in putting God first.

We have our whole life to learn how to love, to give love and receive love. Why give into the fear, so strong in some, to never love.

God is love.
We are to learn how to love here.
We are here to learn. We never stop learning, when we settle in and think we should mold everything like us, we are stuck.
We never stop learning. 
We need to learn to give love, we need to learn to receive love.
 

1 John 4: 17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.
 

R. Music is so helpful, if we let it, take us to our heart. 

Love is Divine.
God created us in His image and likeness. God is love.
God commands us to love.
God created us in love.
Loving makes us closer to God.
We are filled like God wants when we are loving.

How can we disobey God’s will to refuse to open our hearts in love?
We see love in the stable in Bethlehem. 

Fr. Carter talks about doing the ordinary things we ought to do.

Loving is a great gift, more than money or gold, love is higher.
We can touch things, hold things, but love is in the heart, it's higher.
Love, real love, never dies.

We will die, but God wants us to live eternally in love with Him in heaven.

Fr. Carter's definition of love
"Love gives for the good of the other".

We need each other.

We have to learn to trust.
Spiritual. 

Being in touch in the interior life.

The deadly sins make our hearts hard.
Pride, anger, jealousy, envy, slothfulness, lust and gluttony.

Jesus: Open your hearts, I give you My letters of love.

Love brings peace,
You are always learning how to be more perfected in love.

 

Matthew 5: 48

...You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’

 

Sing: A Song from Jesus

Sing: God’s Love

 

Excerpt from September 25, 1999

Messenger: Our Lord has told me that St. Joseph majorly is my protector and our protector in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. 

Pray to him for me and for you, my beloved shepherd brothers and sisters. 

On September 26, 1997, an earthquake hit Italy in Assisi. A second quake hit that same day. The first quake struck at 2:33 a.m., the second at 11:42 a.m., local time. 

The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi was damaged by the two quakes on Friday, September 26, 1997. 

On September 22, 1997, I had received the message given yesterday on the Internet. I suffered so much the day I received the message and the next two days. Our Shepherds of Christ president, who had been out of town, called me Friday about 5:00 p.m. and told me of the earthquake. 

The earthquake made a deep crack in the precious frescoes by Giotto of St. Francis and St. Clare. St. Francis was enormously important in helping in the Church. 

A photographer reported about 11:30 a.m., "I was taking pictures of the frescoes when I felt a first tremor," he said. "Maybe five minutes later, there was a stronger one and in that instant it seemed like everything fell around me." 

AP photographer Phinio Lepri, Associated Press 

Here is a quote from Associated Press under a picture of the frescoes of St. Francis and St. Clare that circulated on papers around the world: 

"Damage can be seen on the frescoes depicting St. Francis, left, and St. Clare at the Basilica after the first quake Friday. Shortly after this photo was taken, the fresco was destroyed by a second quake."      End of excerpt
 

John 2:19-22

Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple: are you going to raise it up again in three days?’ But he was speaking of the Temple that was his body, and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what he had said.

    

Messenger: And I quote from the message of yesterday as our Lord has directed me:

Excerpt from January 19, 1999 Daily Message:

Messenger: On September 22, 1997, He said, "Would the destruction of your temples bring you to your knees? Or should I destroy My own houses?"

I suffered and suffered for three days.

At the end of the week, an earthquake tore apart the Basilica in Assisi and a picture of St. Francis and St. Clare, a famous fresco, was on many of the newspapers around the world.

(end of January 19, 1999 excerpt)

Messenger: I give you the message of the Father, January 18, 1997:

January 18, 1997
God the Father: 
My Dear Children,

I am the Father. My plan is unfolding through you, My beloved priest, Fr. Carter, and Rita and the core group in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

I tell you all to read the accounts concerning Noah.

(end of January 18 1997 excerpt)

Messenger: On March 3, 1997, there was a newspaper story about the Falmouth flood. This flood happened after a warning and a prediction by the Father on February 10, 1997, in which He stated the Falmouth Farm was a disaster.

(NOTE: We do not comprehend the souls that have suffered in the Church and in the world because His Movement was partially blocked. This is not to deny that tremendous grace was given at Falmouth and that many received grace that led them to a deeper spiritual life. But the plan of the Father to take men into this deep spousal relationship with Jesus through His Movement, Shepherds of Christ, has been partially blocked, the School Rosary Program has been partially blocked, and certain aspects of reaching the priests through the newsletter were blocked.)

Messenger: The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a major part of Jesus’ Mission to bring about the reign of His Heart and the triumph of Mary’s Heart.

This mission was begun at Fatima. There were 6 apparitions May 13, 1917 -- October 13, 1917 of Our Lady of Fatima.

Jesus began a major part of the completion of this mission October 13, 1996 -- March 13, 1997.

Mary appeared on the building in Florida December 17, 1996, in the middle of the time period during which these special meetings were held.

These meetings continue on the 13th of every month. Included is an invitation from Jesus for you to come on the 82nd Anniversary of the Fatima Apparition.

$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $10

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $10

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $10

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $10
